Army Kills Syrian Fugitive in Arsal Camp Shooting
Syrian fugitive Youssef Nouh, 22, was killed Tuesday during an army raid in the al-Sanabel Syrian refugee encampment in the border town of Arsal, state-run National News Agency reported.
“An exchange of gunfire erupted when Nouh tried to escape,” NNA said.
The agency noted that the man belonged to the jihadist al-Nusra Front group and was “one of those who had fled from the outskirts” of the town.
His body was transferred to the al-Rahma hospital in the area.
The development comes amid the fifth day of a major Hizbullah offensive aimed at ousting al-Nusra from Arsal's outskirts.
